417: When Loyalty Becomes a Liability in Your Business

What if the loyalty you have for those early team members is actually holding your business back?  In today's episode, I break down the tough truth: not everyone who helped you build your business is meant to help you scale it. You'll learn why holding onto longstanding team members out of loyalty can quietly cost you performance, profit, and your reputation.  I'll show you how to separate appreciation from the actual needs of your business, and why strong leadership means making brave decisions for the future, not just rewarding history. If you've been feeling that tension, it's time to lead forward.   📙 Grab your copy of my new book, "Mom's Going on a business Trip," here: momisgoingonabusinesstrip.com Work with Shelli Warren: Book a call with Shelli to talk about how coaching can help you elevate your leadership capability.
